The Challenges Facing Black people in zania Today

In our quest to understand what is happening to us in our country today, we need to unemotionally analyze and understand all the processes that have guided and led our liberation struggle thus far. There have been no accidents and all that has thus far taken place is the direct result of deliberate and intentional political decisions taken by those who today are in power.

Whereas at face value the liberation struggle in South Africa took a different form other liberation struggles in Africa, and also the fact that it took a much longer period than those of other countries in Africa, however, the reality is that it followed the route carved or taken by its predecessors. There are common aspects that need to be pointed out. Most struggles against colonialism in Africa were characterized by periods of intense mobilization, identification of leaders both by internal and external forces, the forging of alliances and support groups and finally betrayal of the people and their struggles at negotiation tables of the world. This format with some variance was true in Kenya, Zimbabwe and most recently Azania/South Africa.

SOPA’s ideological framework of Black Consciousness and Scientific Socialism. Following from this framework, SOPA argues that the end of apartheid in the 1990s did not truly liberate Black people in South Africa

The Socialist Party of Azania recognizes past calls for unity of the Black Consciousness Movement. Such calls are supported by the Socialist Party of Azania, on the understanding that such unity, demands the primacy of the working class under the banner of Socialism, and nothing less. We support any initiative, whose principal objective is Socialism, for we believe that anything short of that would surely be self-serving rhetorical verbiage that certain people out there shout loudly and sanctimoniously from time-to-time purely to attract attention to themselves as individuals, in order to reap the ill-gotten gains of betrayal of the Working Class
